2nd interview for a 10hour ‘dumb job’, is that normal?

I just applied for a job for 0-10 hours a week as a servicedesk assistent in my local grocery store. In my eyes it's really a 'dumb job' where you do cashiers' work plus some extra responsabilities. Done this before when I was 16 or so, I'm now 29. After a half hour interview with 2 men where they asked one too many questions about my personal life, they now asked me to come in again on Tuesday for a second interview. I honestly don't understand why this is neccesary for a simple job, or maybe I'm underestimating the job itself. I tried to explain I only want this job because I want to do something with my time instead of sitting at home. I'm at a point in my life where I don't know what job I'd like to do for the rest of my working life, and explained…

I tried to explain I only want this job because I want to do something with my time instead of sitting at home. I'm at a point in my life where I don't know what job I'd like to do for the rest of my working life, and explained that to them. I've been jobless for months and need to gradually build up working hours as I'd collapse again if I would go for a 28h job straight away. Also explained to them as they specificly asked me about this.

(I try really hard to not put my whole life story in the conversation as I've had bad run the last 4 years after an accident. Need to train myself to stfu and set some boundaries lol)
